John -- I’ve been watching Congress this week with a growing sense of frustration.

It feels like they aren’t even trying to hide the fact that they don’t work for us -- they work for wealthy donors and special interests.

This week nine conservative Democrats tried to kill the infrastructure bill by demanding even more cuts to a bill that was already a deep compromise.

Well, progressives aren’t having it. Congresswoman Cori Bush called them on the carpet with one simple question:

“St. Louis sent me to Congress to tangibly improve the lives of regular, everyday people. To my colleagues seeking to derail passage of the budget resolution: Why are you here?”

Cori is absolutely right. This bill delivers much needed relief to people who were already struggling before COVID. That may be easy for some people to ignore, but folks like us who have lived with these struggles know: we can’t afford to wait for incremental change.

Thankfully the Progressive Caucus held firm, and the resolution passed. Now it’s headed to the Senate.

Watching all of this theater, I found myself asking the same question as Cori. If you’re not here to help regular people, why are you in Congress? What is your purpose?

John, if they’re not going to work for us, they have to go. We need leaders who won’t use our struggles as pawns in their political games.

In 2020, we elected Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, and we helped Rashida Tlaib win a tough re-election fight.
We are building yet another strong slate of progressives for 2022. Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
